The Bernhardt Kick.

The divine, superb and only Sara Bern
hardt kicked a tray off walters should
ers, in New York few days ago, and now
the irrepressible waiter has brought suit
against her for damages. We have heard
of the Abbott and Emily Soldene kiss, but
never OF the Bernhardt kick until it was
explained by an eye witness. AS every
feminine reader wants to know how
different women kick as fondly as men
like to see women run with their mine
ing steps, we shall explain that the
Bernhardt kick is decidedly un-American,
and has flavor of the French-Italian ele-
walton. The graphic.eye witness upon the
spot said that the superb Sara was in her
ravishing morning costume, meditating
whether she WOULD buy real estate in New
York, like Lily Langtry, or take her
money and go to Paris and pay her debts
like an honest little man-no, woman-and
come back and settle in America. Either
her debts were too large or the beefsteak
was of the Texan rawhIde variety, that an
gered her, as when his royal noblesse oblige
picked his way with uplifted tray into the
bric-a-brac boudoir of the only unconquer-
able Sara, she let her right loot go and
then there was bull in china shop.
Sara has very small, but very express
sive foot. The eyewitness said she gath
cred her costume with one swish of her
foot to the left and it fell-the costume,
not the foot-with graceful fold upon her
right arm. The slippers were of the Louis
XIV. kind. The heels were two stories in
height and bronzed, and the toes sparkled
with real diamonds set to music in the
shape of heart. The vamps were very
low, and the slippers were edged with lace
and satin. 1t is no wonder her foot was
restless to kick something. surrounded by
such gorgeousness.
But to the serious business OF the kick.
Quick as fash the divine Sara measured
the height of the waiter, backed foot or
two, and slowly at first she raised her foot
about to the knee of the waiter, causing
him to look downward, which was his IA
tai second. Like lightning then she let
that vicious right foot go. and the graphic
artist on the spot said there was perfect
cloud of dizzy and may lace, inexpressible
silk fesh.colored hosiery, CLICKED in fan
tastic emblems, and the ankle was snugly
encircled with diamond bracelet, and
here his vision failed-but he was very care.

the same manner as she 2lifted it, which
was convincing that it was an art with her,

that she lowered the foot slowly, because it
might be so heavy that sudden downfall

A BID FOR THE BUSINESS.
Unexpected Competitors of the Western
Union telegraph Company.

New YORK, April 3O.-A morning paper
prints the following; THE Western Union
Telegraph Company yesterday found an
unexpected competitor in telegraphlc COM
munication with California. The Postal
Telegraph Company, in union with the
Baltimore and Ohio and the United
Lines Company, made q bid for the bust
ness between the East and the far West by
announcing that it would transmit mes
sages at the rate Of teDEwords for 81. This
is a cut of one-third in the rates of the
Western Union Company, which has hith-
erto had monopoly in that field. A still
bigger cut, and a more important one,
orders, and henceforth money orders can be
telegraphed at q rate of 90 per cent. less
than that hitherto maintained by the COM
pany of which Jay Gould is the controlling
owner. The attempt to break into the
Western Unions business in this territory
has been long considered by each of the
companies now in the combination, but
the effort to do so siDgle.handed was not
regarded as likely to succeed. Accordingly,
the three companies Joined hands n the
fight, which is destined to be bitter one.
Heretofore the rate to San Francisco was
as high as that to Europe. 1t is not thought
that the Western U nion will meet the cut
at present. but should that company decide
to meet the cut on money orders, it is
possible that the consolidated companies
will go one better by sending such transfers
free of charge. The route of the new chan.
mel of communication Is via the Northern
Pacific Railroad to Portland, Ore, thence
overland to San Francisco"

THE BEeINNINe OF A WAR
For Supremacy Between the Trunk Lines
and Western Companies.

and Western Companies.
NEW YORK, April 30.-The Commercial
Advertiser says: The refusal to-day by
the Pennsylvania Railroad to sell tickets to
the accredited agents of the Western rail-
roads is regarded by Ticket Agent G.
G. Lansing as the beginning Of war
for supremacy between the trunk lines
and the Western companies. Mr.. Lansing
says the Pennsylvania Roads action is
practically boycott. aud that 1t is one OF
the results of the meeting of the general
passenger agents in this city yesterday.
The Pennsylvania, which always takes the
initiative in such matters, will be Joined,
he thinks, by all the other trunk lines.
Mr.. Lansing cbaracterizes this move on
the part of the trunk lines as most vio-
lent attempt to carry out their bold policy
of compelling the Western roads to
abolish the P-yment of commissions to
agents, a policy the Western roads
have steadily resisted. The Western roads,
he says, will retsliate on Monday by COM
polling the trunk lines to show cause in the
courts why the trunk line roads should
not furnish tickets as before. The Western
roads will also appeal to the Interstate
Commission, claiming that discrimination
is being made contrary to the provisions of
the law. Opponents of the trunk lines say
this latest move is an attempt to crush out
the weak Western roads.

Arrest of a Murderer.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, April 2S.-James
Reed. an alleged murderer, was captured
here to-day. Two years ago a United
States soldier, in company with three citi-

Block, for his valuables, In Matamoras,
Mexico. The murderers were captured and
sentenced to be shot. Reed and Williams
escaped, stole some fine horses and re.
crossed into Mexico and were present at
the execution of their fellows in crime.
Reed made his way to California where, it
Is alleged, he committed numerous rob-

has sentence of Death passed upon him
and California wants him for crime. He
denies being the party wanted, but officers
and soldiers say they can not be mistaken
in this case.

LOUISVILLE, KY, April 2S.-The body OF
